Ninja Ice House

June 20th is Xianglin’s birthday. In this passionate season, Xianglin is about to cross the threshold of eight years old.

At this age, girls already have a clear understanding of gender differences. They will share some secrets with girls of the same age and discuss them with their mothers, but the possibility of discussing them with their fathers and grandfathers is extremely slim.

This is probably a common problem that fathers of daughters will encounter all over the world.

After being a strict father for less than three years, my daughter is about to grow up, which really catches me off guard.

"Fortunately, I still have Xiaohiira, Kagami and Tsukasa."

Kosugi Masaki dotingly hugged his second granddaughter who was focused on eating, and complained with a sour heart,

"If there are any problems now, Xianglin won't write to me secretly."

"Eh? You also had a secret relationship with her..."

Kosugi Masaki teased angrily,

"Why have I never seen you treat me like this before, always siding with my mother and punishing me for my eccentric ways?"

"You also know that is inappropriate. You are an only child, how can it be the same? It is impossible for me to object to your mother..."

"Okay. I finally understand. There is a reason why grandparents like the youngest children. When the grandchildren grow up and no longer rely on them, they have to 'transfer love' to younger children."

Gu Shan Bu Shui really didn't expect that his old father would have such a serious "daughter slave" plot. I'm afraid he was quite complaining about not being able to give birth to a girl and only having a son like Gu Shan Bu Shui.

"Obviously my family has prepared a big celebration, and I still have to spend it with my classmates on my birthday. Isn't it too disappointing, don't you worry?"

"It's not like I won't come back. I will still be with my family at night."

Gu Shan Bu Shui admonished nonchalantly.

Because Hong Ye couldn't arrive in time, Xiang Rin was not very interested, so she got together with her friends during the day.

Xianglin also began to have her own ideas when it came to personal friendships and private matters. Many times, her father and grandfather couldn't get involved.

The two people who were talking gently shook their cattail fans to fan the three little guys.

The summer heat is getting stronger and stronger, and the little daughter, who is wearing thin clothes, has begun to have beads of sweat on her body.

Not only do they have to cool them down, but they also have to worry about mosquito bites. Don’t think that everything will be fine before it gets dark. Earlier, Gu Shanbu Shui personally sprayed potions to kill ticks, clean up water damage, and install screens on doors and windows.

Just to let my three daughters sleep peacefully.

Fortunately, Kagami and Tsukasa, who are a little weak in health, have been well taken care of recently and have not become acclimatized due to moving from the coastal Yuqi Island to the inland Konoha Village.

After all, they have inherited the bloodline of the Uzumaki clan. Even if they are born with deficiencies, the benefits brought by the fairy body can make them immune to many diseases.

After drinking up the special milk happily, Xiaoyong raised his eyes and looked around, but did not find the older sister Xianglin. She smacked her mouth inexplicably, turned over unsteadily, got down on all fours, and looked at Jing and Si.

Climb over in the direction, staring with big eyes and small eyes, and humming a few words from time to time, and I don’t know what they are communicating.

"Xiaoyi is a child who has a strong desire for control and is also very curious. I'm afraid he will be much more naughty than Xianglin in the future."

Gushan Bushui watched the three sisters "interacting" with a smile and commented softly.

To a certain extent, Kohiira is a "winner" who grew up by plundering some of Kagami and Tsukasa's qualifications, and has even greater potential than Kaoru.

In fact, to put it bluntly, Gushan Bushui believes that the current Xianglin is much more powerful and has better qualifications than the weak and wandering little girl in the original timeline.

"I'm wondering if the Gushan family bloodline also has some hidden characteristics."

"How to say?"

The old father is also quite curious about this issue. Historically, it is not that the Gushan people have not been committed to improving their personal strength, but few have gone as far and as deeply as Gushan Bushui.

"Being upright, peaceful and stable are the distinctive characteristics of the Gushan tribe. For more than a thousand years, our tribe has had almost no serious genetic diseases. No matter which tribe's blood is mixed in, there will be no conflict."

Of course, this "no conflict" does not mean that there will be no sequelae when the boundaries of the two blood lines merge, but that bad traits tend to disappear and good traits are more likely to appear.

If I had to give an evaluation, it would be an adaptive "good wife" bloodline. It may not have strong abilities on its own, but it can give wings to another bloodline to take off.

"Is this happening?"

Furusugi Masaki patted aside Xiaohiira's fat hand that was playfully grabbing his beard and hair, and lovingly rubbed his chin with his fingers. The sensitive area was "attacked", and the little guy squinted his eyes slightly comfortably and lay down.

Grandfather’s thighs were bent to enjoy the coolness.

"Over the years, the Gushan clan has almost never produced a particularly stupid guy. Whether it is IQ or physical fitness, they are far above the average level. It's just because there are very few characters who are so talented and beautiful that they will be remembered in history, so

It’s not very conspicuous. In essence, we are a family of geniuses comparable to Uchiha and Senju. We can’t compare with top talents, and our average quality actually has a slight advantage.”

Everyone, please go and try it soon.]

"If you say that..."

Gushan Zhengcheng nodded.

Indeed, among the ancestors of Kosugi and the Daimyo's predecessors, there are some who are unique and some who do absurd things, but there are almost no people who are truly evaluated as stupid people, which is very scary.

You know, even for the famous Uchiha clan, those who turn on the Sharingan and become jounin only account for one-tenth of the clan members who embark on the path of ninja.

"The lower limit for the head of the Gushan family is indeed very high."

Of course, not everyone is wiser, and there are also fluctuations in ability.

"but……"

Gu Shan Bu Shui said very calmly,

"Statistical statistics on the deeds of clan members over the past generations have yielded some results. Positive attributes such as kindness, bravery, and perseverance seem to boost the power of the Gushan clan. The more consistent they are, the more inexplicable 'destiny' is involved.

"

The chakra reincarnations of Asura and Indra are the trendsetters of the past, and Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto are the sons of destiny who determine the direction of the world.

However, until the "key players" emerge to turn the gears of destiny, the world still has to move, and some hidden forces are still at work.

To a certain extent, the Daimyo and the Kosugi clan do have a sense of being "mandated by heaven". They are born with a certain destiny. As long as they follow the trend, they can get twice the result with half the effort, and they will always be disadvantageous.

However, this kind of "fate's care" does not have an immediate effect like that of Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto.

"What you mentioned has been investigated by several magistrates, but there are no conclusive findings. Just as we know that every few years, there will be one or two mass suicides on the east coast where a large number of whales wash up on the beach, become stranded and die.

It has become a worldwide curiosity, but no one knows why this happened."

Of course, it can be explained by saying that the evil will not suppress the good, that people who have gained the Tao will get many help, but those who have lost the Tao will get little help, and those who win the hearts of the people will win the world. However, this also cannot make Gu Shan Bu Shui feel at ease.

"This world is neither upright nor kind, and is still ugly in many places, but it is spiritual and encourages all good qualities including integrity, kindness, courage, and perseverance. In other words, love and peace are real.

Endogenous power exists. I can't be sure whether this is given by the world, or whether it is the collective will formed by the collective desire of mankind, the primate of all things. In short, good deeds are rewarded, and it really has practical significance, especially for us.

This is even more true for the Gushan family."

The descendants of "Momotaro" seem to be born with some authority over fate. As long as they follow the ancient cedar path recorded in the family tree and family rules, they will be blessed with a halo of gain.

This kind of benefit is not very obvious at ordinary times, but over time, the benefit to the tribe will be extremely considerable.

In the past, the core members of the Gushan tribe were almost unconcerned about taking the path of "bringing great power to oneself". As Gushan Bu Shui became stronger and stronger, and even controlled the natural spirit of Haifangzhu to pretend to be the "god of rivers", we can even realize that nature

A part of the energy is cheering for the revival of some ancient power.

Under normal circumstances, this kind of hidden benefit can at best allow the Gushan tribe to enjoy prosperity and wealth, but for Gushan Bu Shui, Xiang Lin and others, it is different.

This is very obvious in the energetic Xiao Hiiragi. Kagami and Tsukasa, as parasitic fetuses, were able to survive a near-death environment and endure until Gusugi Bushui changed their fate against the will of heaven. This is not something ordinary blood can do.

things to do.

"Except for not being able to become a Konoha ninja, I have always had good luck since I was a child. Everything I do goes smoothly. There are very few obstacles that I cannot overcome. Even if there are difficulties, I will survive.

, and passed it without any danger.”

If he hadn't known that this era belonged to Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto, Fusugi Fusui would have doubted whether he had usurped destiny and became a key figure in determining the future of the world.

Even the matter of disciplining my cousin, if you look at it from another angle, is to survive from death. According to his arrangement, it is absolutely impossible to succeed, and it is even very likely that the family will be destroyed. However, after being kept in cold storage for so many years, he has become mature.

I have learned a lot and met the younger generation Gu Shan Bushui. I look at the problem from another level. Is there any hope of realizing the ideal in a curved line?

"You want to say that our family is the embodiment of justice, and as long as we obey God and do justice for God, we can enjoy peace?"

Gushan Zhengcheng sneered and said,

"You can think so, but don't expect too much."

"I know that I won't place my hopes on the vague fate. But I just want to have peace of mind and a clear conscience. Without the first Hokage, the Senju couldn't recover. The Uchiha put too much emphasis on the Sharingan, and almost wiped out the entire clan. Hinata

I have become a slave bound by the white eyes. Let alone fate, even if I am the child of destiny, I have to consider whether to listen to it."

Proud as Gu Shan Bu Shui, he will take advantage of all favorable conditions to achieve his goals, but he will never become a tool driven by current events.

…

At the same time, the second test of the Chunin Examination has lasted for a day and a half. In two or three days, the candidates for the third test will be decided. While several senior teachers are busy preparing for the competition in the Death Forest, Xiang

Lin Zheng and a few friends are practicing their embossing skills.

"It doesn't seem like he's very enthusiastic."

Yamanaka Ino poked Xiang Rin's waist with her elbow and asked with a smile,

"Today is your birthday, you should be happy."

"My mother's liner was delayed due to strong winds, so I may not be able to make it today. It's a pity."

"If your father and grandfather are not here, they will always make arrangements, right?"

"Um."

Xianglin lazily held up her chin and responded slightly vaguely,

"There are a lot of preparations, but my mother is not here and I can't go on."

Last year's birthday party, Xianglin invited many classmates to gather together, which was quite lively. However, this year's situation was special and the preparation time was limited. There was no grand banquet. It was just a private celebration for the family.

In fact, it is no wonder that Hongye made a mistake. Some things cannot be undone by human power. Because he started late, although Hongye also practiced some basic ninjutsu, he was far behind a formal ninja. He could not ignore the influence of harsh natural conditions.

On days when a typhoon passes through, not to mention ordinary people, even ninjas do not dare to walk through the huge waves on the sea.

"In life, there are many unsatisfactory things. You are also eight years old, so you should be considerate of your parents' difficulties."

The elder Kurama Yakumo flicked the embossed work in his hand and nodded with satisfaction.

"Last time I saw Uzumaki Naruto celebrating his birthday by eating snacks alone, and there wasn't even anyone celebrating."

"He..."

Xianglin couldn't laugh or cry when she mentioned that blond kid.

"He said he wanted to prepare a great birthday gift for me and then become my disciple. I don't know what's going on lately."

That noisy guy actually didn't have a very good relationship with his classmates. Inuzuka Kiba, Nara Shikamaru and Akimichi Choji occasionally played together, which was considered a "comradeship" cultivated by skipping classes.

It was still early to leave the dessert shop to get cakes. Several girls were talking and laughing to pass the time. The battle in the forest of death was already heating up. Sarutobi Asuma, who received the request for help, shuttled through the area with two chuunin.

In the tall and dense forest, several candidates who had lost mobility were rescued from time to time.

Except for two serious injuries, others were not seriously injured.

There are more candidates this year. One hundred and five people entered the second examination, but no more than ten were left to advance to the third examination. Ninety percent of the candidates will be eliminated. The selection is really strict.

"This year's Konoha candidates don't seem to have anyone who stands out."

During the interval of search and rescue, Sarutobi Asuma stood on the treetop, lit a cigarette, and talked nonchalantly.

Outstanding children were promoted to chuunin in the past two years. These two years have been a period of decline. There are some ninjas who are average characters, but very few have special skills.

Konoha Village is known as the cradle of geniuses, and it is not every year that powerful genin take part in the chunin exams.

The performance of Sun Ninja and Mist Ninja was not very good, but from time to time there were candidates from small ninja villages like Grass Ninja, Rain Ninja and Star Ninja who stood out.

"Chakra is gathering over there, and there seems to be a large-scale melee. Go and have a look..."
